  • Chandni 1989 Full Movie Mp4 Download
    chandni 1989 full movie mp4 download Chandni (1989) (Bollywood / Indian Cinema / Hindi Film / Romance / DVD) Chandni is the story of how love takes the life of three people and weaves them together into a beautifully dramatic love story, filled with beautiful colours of pain and passion. Love comes to Chandni (Sridevi) and Rohit (Rishi Kapoor) in one breathless moment as if time and hearts have stopped. They plan the happiness of a shared future, but life has no other plans. In one cruel stroke of fate, Chandni faces life alone, her heart and her dreams shattered. Then she meets Lalit (Vinod Khanna), Lalit whose eyes are dark with the shadows of the tragic memories of his first love. But in Chandni's smile he sees a wonderful radiance that for the first time chases those shadows away. Lalit's affection gives a new direction to Chandni's life, till one day, she meets Rohit again. Now all three stand at the cross- roads of love, pawns in the game that love plays with life. Who will win? Life or Love? Review. At the time when Yash Chopra, launched CHANDNI, everyone thought the director has gone insane. But the director kept calm and quite. The film was made and released and soon after the release, it became a superhit and marked the beginning of the era of romanticism. Sri Devi is the soul of the movie. She never looked as beautiful as in Chandni. She doesn t play the character but live it. She looks amazing in her white salwar kameez .
